Yeah, am familliar with compacts, it's tricky to find ones with flat top and good bend which allows access to the levers in the bends. These look like they might do the trick.
i'm no expert, but they could be ritcheys.
I have a pair and lever access is fine even with the rather hefty cane creek levers. -

spotter (on this forum) imports them. pm him for info.
But because he imports them from SE Asia, his working day is from 12 am to 8 am - best to phone him at around 3:30 am to be sure that he's at his desk.
I so hope this picks up again

Given the Zipp stem, could be one of the "Short & Shallow" Zipp bars. But yeah, most compacts will be near enough that shape. I have FSA Vero which are very similar, or Deda RHM, etc.

If i had to guess i think they are fsa omega bars as on this bike.

Sounds like you're after something like the Salsa Cowbells. I've ridden entire races in the drops with them with no problems. They've got a bit of flare in them though, so perhaps a bit less suitable for a road bike.

Well hello there.

Don't get excited, the belt will come off when you back-pedal approaching junctions.

Its odd how quickly bike tastes change, before i found this forum id have thought a bright purple with orange deep V's was nice looking, then after reading the forum, i only found classic geo, horizontal top tube steel frames were nice, now im lusting for a compact frame... all in like an 8 months period.

I think that's the first Indy Fab I've seen that I actually want. Would want to get rid of the belt drive and put some gears on it though

the only sensible solution is to own all of these (except for the purple/orange deep v's)

Flare does not make it any less suitable on a road bike, I actually think they make it even more comfortable to stay on the drop without your wrist hitting the top of the bar.
(they aren't actually 'spotter bars' / bontrager ssr vr-c, any standard compact drop should sort you out, I use FSA wing pros which have a closer shape to the above than the bontragers)
I really don't like the Bontrager anymore, the bend is awful to hold onto when on the drop.
